 Steller's Jay. I don't like this challenge, but I'll give it a try. Everything is relative. I work hard to capture sharp images. No good for me to "shoot stupid". I expect this image will score in the bottom 10%. Too many DPC members like the blurry thing. But, to score well with that group of blur-lovers, the image would need to be alot more blurry than this.

Blurry mess of anything is anathema to me. Hence, the title.

If the feeder was sharp, I think this would have done a lot better.

Surely you jest. You have to admit there's some merit in blur when things are in motion(Some good examples in there, some suck).

Another where I wish cropping was allowed in Minimal. I would so like to have just the bird . . . and maybe a bit more space next to his beak. Love his frantic wing beating as he tries to hold on.
